I assume mostly the same as other Ambystoma (deep substrate, 50-70 degrees, some hides and perhaps a water dish, and varied food) but I was wondering if, since it's from the Central and Southeastern US, they liked slightly water conditions. Also, of course, if I have anything else wrong, please tell me.

I think like a tiger salamander. Apparently, you can get them to go semi-aquatic, but since their cousin the tiger salamander doesn't do well with large amounts of water, I wouldn't do that

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
